Resources & Articles

Stories, research, and reflections from therapists, researchers, advocates, and writers across many communities and parts of the world.

We believe knowledge doesn't come from one country, one profession, or one way of understanding people. Some of our articles are written by our therapists. Others are created in collaboration with writers, community organizers, researchers, and people with lived experience whose work expands how we think about healing, identity, and collective care.

We're especially committed to publishing perspectives that have too often been overlooked in mainstream mental health conversations, including voices from Indigenous communities, Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, the Pacific, Southwest Asia and North Africa, and diasporic communities around the world.

Because care has always been shaped by many cultures, languages, and histories.
